Despite his fear of tight places, Billy Bob Thornton performed to a packed cave Sunday for Bluegrass Underground. The American actor, filmmaker, singer, songwriter, and musician informed the crowd that two members of the band, himself included, suffer from claustrophobia, an extreme fear of confined spaces. He said this from a stage 333 feet underground at Cumberland Caverns.Thornton said his fear is so bad he refuses to ride elevators alone.
